With the beginning tomorrow. We wanted to share some words of inspiration from Castles legend himself, Mick McGeoch ๐Ÿ™Œ

Mick says:
โ€œCastles feels like Christmas has come early. Always inspirational, a combination of stunning scenery, top racing, and wonderfully socialising with like minded people. If this is your first Castles, you are in for a treat. Enjoy the weekend, whatever your role. I have a new job this year - personal chauffeur. I have never missed a Castles weekend.โ€

Weekly roundup 03/06/2026 ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸข

Lots of racing action over the weekend starts in the Newport Valleys, where we had a team participating in the Rack Raid relay, organised by Fairwater Runners Cwmbran. The team put on a fantastic showing, finishing an amazing 5th overall!

Although it was a team event, we wanted to shoutout some great personal performances:

๐Ÿ™Œ Julie Chamberlain ๐Ÿฅ‡ Female Stage 10
๐Ÿ™Œ James Bull ๐Ÿฅˆ Stage 2
๐Ÿ™Œ Sarah Hamill ๐Ÿฅ‰ Female Stage 13

Over to Manchester Half next, where Lauren Green was in action. She finished in a brilliant time of 1:33:26, a fantastic performance ๐Ÿ‘

Also in Manchester, Sam Griffiths raced in the 10k. Sam ran a brilliant 31:42, an excellent performance ๐Ÿ™Œ

From Manchester, to Cork, where we had two members taking part in the 10k. Stuart Crees finished in 42:45, coming 5th in age group. Libby Crees was home in 54:07, finishing 9th in her age group. Amazing ๐Ÿ™Œ

Finally, we look to the Cortina Dobbiaco 30k race in Italy! We can always rely on Janneke Van Beijnum and Emyr Morgan to introduce us to some fantastic different races. Janneke finished in a brilliant 2:30:11, finishing 11th F45 on the day. Emyr was also in great form, running 2:15:58 for 6th Male 55 ๐Ÿ‘
